His lecture is informative and relevant to the course. He is able to wake us up with his witty comments and go right back to the topic. The hands on portion will make you feel like you can jump right into high quality CPR. Overall, this is a great class! I wish they could offer a shorter and more concise refresher for renewals.

AHA Approved!!!! --…read more Great class! It was informative with videos and hands-on training. There were a bunch of adult AND baby sized manikins that would blink red or green lights as you're doing compressions. Quan made it really easy to understand, and was super patient with everyone. He asked us if we wanted him to repeat any information for us and really taught us all of the necessary steps. About a 3 1/2 hour course and you can easily register online or even pay in person $$ The woman who was helping us sign in would wipe down the manakins with disinfectant right after we used them. This is the most affordable class I've found and I'm glad I took it. I didn't expect it to be so interactive but I'm glad it was!!

The only thing about this current location is that, parking may be limited if you don't arrive a little early. Many of parking spaces are marked and reserved for the neighboring businesses. Instructors are knowledgeable and nice. They make it easy for you to get through. This time, instead of in person class, I took an online course and in person skills check off. It was easier than driving into class, but still had to go into class for check offs. This place has clean restrooms, snack station with coffee and tea available. Got my electronic cards within hours.

Complete your online modules at home, about an hours worth of informational videos, flowcharts and scenarios. You complete the class and move on with the skills test. The instructions to get into the office were clear and starting your guided skills test was super easy. The office space has multiple stations with voice assisted mannequins and laptops. Throw on a pair of gloves, log into your account and the laptop will guide you through the testing. It'll direct you in assisting you with your quality of compressions and ventilation for both adult and infant. Watch the videos provided to ensure you get through the skills test seamlessly. If your competency is not passing you can retake the skills portion until you do. If you need assistance there is a number you can call and there are also cameras at each station. Was in and out of there in no time and would definitely recommend this for any one looking to renew. Gone are the days of time consuming in-person classes CPR classes. Don't forget to grab a free emergency pocket mask on the way out!

The two hour session just flew by. One minute the session was starting, the next thing I realized she was wrapping it up. Karen has an amazing and infectious energy that is transmitted to everyone in the class. The class is very well organized and even fun. Karen has decades of service with the Santa Clara Fire Department. So she is very experienced, dedicated, passionate, professional and despite it being a Saturday morning, really seemed to be enjoying herself! I can't imagine a better learning environment for this material. In summary, I sincerely recommend HeartReady and Karen.

I've been needing to renew my BLS/CPR certification for awhile now…read more My cousin recommended me a place through a friend she just met, Lori so I decided to check this place out. Place is kind of hidden, limited parking or you can also park on the street. This place is very clean, and cute haha I had the privilege to meet Lori very briefly, the owner, and she was really sweet. I took a class with my cousin. I think this place is new because I've never heard of it before and there's not many reviews on Yelp. Our instructor is Njoki. She was very friendly, welcoming and entertaining! I love her. She made you feel comfortable. The course was supposed to last 3 hours but it goes by really fast and you won't use up all the time. It was more like 2 hours for us since it was a smaller class plus the information from the videos can be redundant. My cousin and I were the only students for that class which I loved! I learn better in smaller groups. I don't like crowded classes. I know the one on Meridian always has bigger classes. You watch videos and then you do the hands-on party right after or along with the video. Njoki repeated the main things you needed to know on the test you took at the end so it stuck with me. I was worried about that part because it can be a lot of information to take in especially if it's been awhile, your first time, and that they change every 5 years or so. Be ready for a workout! I was out of breath and my arms and fingers were hurting haha My arms were sore for the next 3 days. We went through adult CPR, infant CPR, choking, AED Use and took a test at the end. Don't worry about failing. There's 25 questions, and they're pretty straightforward. The videos repeat and bold the important parts on the screen. Njoki also tests us along the way and repeats the correct answers and also reviews with questions on the test. Place was very clean. It was very cold that day and the place was heated so I was comfortable. The class was very fun and informational. Njoki was a great instructor. Prepare for laughs, an intense workout, and prepare to be extremely out of breath from all the chest compressions and counting out loud. I definitely recommend this place to anyone. The fee was $75! It is cheaper than other locations in San Jose. Will becoming back here for my renewal haha !

I was recently told I am booked at a mobile drive "across the hall" that I never made. ​What makes this worse is the blatant hypocrisy: I receive daily emergency emails claiming blood supplies are critically low, yet while sitting in the waiting room today, I watched multiple willing donors--both walk-ins and appointment holders--get turned away. ​The staff shows zero respect for donors' time. People take time out of their busy schedules to do what they. An to try and save lives, only to be met with disorganization and indifference. I am done wasting my time. I will gladly drive any distance out of my way to donate at Stanford or another center that actually values donors. Please remove me from your call and email list.
